[MauiRob]

I just upgraded to Premium member so now I can post pics! Of course I'll probably have my membership revoked after posting too many pics, but what the heck

 

[Bill Martino]

Let's see a couple.

Whoops! Maybe I spoke too soon!

[Bill Martino]

Really nice stuff, Rob. Thanks and I'm looking forward to more.

 

[Walosi]

NOT if they're like those - Keep on keepin' on

 

[MauiRob]

Thanks guys

How did that second one load, speed wise for you?

 

[Bill Martino]

Where was the bottom pix taken? Maui?

 

[MauiRob]

Nope. It was taken near Rockport Maine during a photography workshop I attended this fall. However, the first one was in Maui in a town called Haiku at their annual flower festival.

Rob -

When I click on a thread with pics, the entire thread is held until loading is complete, then I can scroll down. There was no noticeable difference between loading time for this thread and others. On this forum, It is always less than ten seconds.

I wish I was as talented enough to take pictures of such high quality.

Rob,

Very nice!! You went to Rockport for a workshop??? I'm really jealous!!! I want to do my MFA at Rockport. I just have to finish my undergrad first (7 classes to go)...

I really like the tree photo. Are you going to be selling any prints?

Thanks Keith!

Alan,

The Rockport workshop was with a Photographer named Breda Tharp (www.brendatharp.com check out her nature and fine art portfolios! Although her best work is not yet on there), and it was great! I want to take one with Mary Ellen Mark next, just need the $$

I am considering going for a M.F.A also, but I don't have a BFA (unless you let it stand for big fat A** ). Do you know if they ever accept poeple on portfolio review (and/or bribes ).

Check your email regarding prints

Way to Go Rob. I am hoping to be able to do this also before too long.

Ho! You go school in Hawaii brah, Fo Real? You miss da ono grinds and fine wahine? I know I do Nah, I'm a Haole from Maine. How boutchu? I just lived there for 3.5 years and started hanging out on HI when I still lived there
Did you go to school on Oahu or the Big Island? I have a friend who's a local girl from Maui (born and raised cuz ) who went to school on da big island. Man, I forgot almost all my pigeon already! I used to know a fair amount of it--taught local kids and worked with alot of locals.
I'd love to shoot the calender photo Ahhh, if only I was still in Maui--there were loads of yum--er, attractive young surfer women all over the place Not to mention the models that showed up to start their bathing suit modeling career there---ok, time for my ice bath

Finn,

Do you plan to go for an MFA? Did you get your BFA already? I don't know if they will take me in without it. Its probably a year or more away for me, longer if I need a ton of art credits to get in But I'm having a blast getting started in photography, even if I'm not making any money yet

 

[Finn]

Rob,

You must have me confused with somebody else. I have a BSEE but no degree in Fine Arts. I do have a lot of professional experience in graphics and photography. In my real estate business both figure prominately. If you decide to go for it, best of luck!

 

[ACStudios]

Rob,

I think you can get in with just a BA if you have the art credits... My degree will be in Communication Arts, with a ton of photography. I know I'd have to have a portfolio review, but I looked it over with my photography prof (he's also my advisor) and he thought I could get in.

Mary Ellen Mark... you wanna go to Cuba too? I thought about that workshop too. I think it would be too cool.

I know their MFA program it really good. Initially, my plan was to take it out of residence and use my studio to work out of... but now (if I ever get back on my feet), I'll do it in residence. I can't think of anyplace more perfect and peaceful to get creative. Although my specialty is really pj... I'd love to work on landscapes, etc...

Thanks for the e-mail on prints. I'll get back with you (and thanks for the offer ). I gotta run to work.

Alan

BTW... I'm selling my Canon 1n body/motor and 540EZ for $600.00 (in excellent condition) if you know anyone who is looking for a pro body. Gotta pay the bills...

 

[MauiRob]

Alan,

Sounds like you've got it figured out I'm happy for you I have a B.S. in biology with only 2 courses in photography and one other art class. I think I would have to do some serious make up work prior to going, but oh well.

Mary Ellen Mark is doing one in Oaxaca Mexico next, I think. But yeah, I'd go anywhere she is teaching anyway I was reading about their out of residence plan, and if I do anything it would have to be that. My house is an hour and forty five minutes drive away from campus, and I have a wife and daughter at home too.

Finn,

Whoops when you said you would like to be able to do this too" I thought you meant somthing else. Now I realize you meant post pictures

 

[Bill Martino]

This, also, is out of my league -- like almost everything. I'm using the cardboard throw away cameras and this junk Kodak DC I paid $550 for. Could probably get $20 for it today.
